What you keep your breeder rats in

Just trying to get some ideas of what I can move my breeder rats too. Racks, cages, what?

It would be cheap to buy tubs wouldnt it? I mean if you have to buy that many!

i hvae about 16 lab style cages and three tubs

Wouldent it cost less and you would have more room with a giant rubbermaid

My rat racks -

https://ball-pythons.net/gallery/fil...cks800x600.jpg

Since this pic was taken, I've built a mice rack based on the same plan, but using Sterilite 1644 tubs. Has 18 tubs and takes up less space than one rat rack.

I have my mice in 10 gallon aquariums, but i just got them, so we'll have to see how that goes. We keep all out mice and rats at school in the lab style tubs, but i think those cost like 60 or 70 buck a piece. They do last dang near forever though it seems. One thing i have heard is that what ever you use, make sure it is all flat sides and even curves there are no ridges or offset humps or anything that they can start to chew on, or they can eat their way out. It may not be that big an issue, im pretty new to keeping rodents. Maybe someone with more experience can chime in on that part.
